News roundup: week of 23rd October
This has been an interesting week. Firefox 2.0 was released on Wednesday with new features, themes and…stuff. (I haven’t tried it so I don’t know - but it’s bound to be good, isn’t it?) Nearly two years since the original Firefox was released, out of Phoenix and previously Firebird - built on the Mozilla Suite. Notice how they haven’t made a huge fuss about it like Microsoft have with IE7.
Installing MediaWiki on my new 1&1 hosting package was disappointing - they don’t have PHP 5. Angela Beesley recommended HostGator.com, so once I cancel my contract I’ll be going with them. Yes, you can have subdomains if you want!
Finally, I copyedited Wikizine this week. It’s a short, to-the-point plain text newsletter about Wikimedia.
